This came to me while reminiscing my early online multiplayer times(aka noob years)
A gameplay mode called Taxer of the hill.
The match starts with the teams fighting over a relatively fortified area near the center of the map which is a mining/resource harvesting facility.
There would be a plethora of neutral Ai enemies fighting both teams if they get close to the facility, but they can be stopped completely by capturing or destroying the clone vat(s). There would be two heavily armoured but weaponless MCC variants that would be able to harvest the materials gained from the facility and as long as that is going on, the isk earned for actions completed near/in the facility would be multiplied (possibly by 3 or 4 times) and the losing team/team with the least amount of materials harvested would earn either no isk or a very small amount.
The point of this game mode would be to promote teamwork and have a higher risk vs reward.
Any thoughts?
Edit 1: npc corp is now replaced by a player owned facility
Edit 2: in corp matches all earnings go directly to the corp wallet |

Is it a great idea? Terrible? Exploitable? Unfair? Unforgiving? Please give some kind of feedback! |

i like the idea of protecting something while it's mining and it holds true to eve lore.
so you'd be fighting bots and basically sending your spare teammates over to screw the other team over and try and get them over run? could work |

The bots would be fighting both teams until they eithet run out of bot clones or the bot's spawn(s) is taken |

The Ai vehicles would basically be militia vehicles working as intended ( tanks going after enemy vehicles and installations, dropships ferrying squads to the frontline, an lavs rushing vehicles to objectives and installations). People will be fighting other players as well as Ai so that won't be a big problem. |

Think of this as like going into deep null, high risk but great reward as far as earnings go. |

There really isn't much risk/better reward in low so this is a perfect example of either earning multiple of the reg amount or nothing |

Obv hasnt lived in low
Low offers some great rewards when compared to high, like chalk and cheese |

Do you find that ore used to make morphite in low? The best I've seen is omber and that was in a .1 area next to null |

Mex in its pure form isnt in low but it can be found in other ores when refined
The idea would be better for moon havesting if anything and leave ores to high/low
Plus in low i search for specific ores in general |

you should put it in the suggestions forum, the more gameplay types there are the better imo. when Eve brought in incursions it was a brilliant addition to the game, something like this might appeal to dusters.
offtopic but still think ccp and making a mistake with matchmaking, better for them to make servers where people can frequent and play regulary with other players and make bonds from there, bit like the bonds people make while incursioning together. |

This could make a decent corp match only setup because of it's risk of potentially not making a dime and the possibility of making over one mil in a single match |

I like this idea for high/low sec IF the salvage is actually the mins. you "mined" from the match. They could either go to the corp or split up among the mercs that participated and distributed evenly by WP earned. Maybe in null sec have the moon mats. "mined" and split like as said above. That would be a cool battle to be in. It would have to be capped ofc to prevent ppl spamming mins. and moon mats. lol Just my 2 cents. But all in all, +1 |

Sounds fun. Would be more interesting if an Eve player set a mining harvest down. Once it's under attack they can either pull out before it gets destroyed by hostiles, or hire dust mercs to defend it. There's plenty of more progressive gametypes that CCP can do for this game. |
